Ethernet failing; cable test is good (alien.top)

I am trying to connect my PS4 with a lan cable wired through the wall to a network switch. The connection test on the PS4 fails to recognize an IP, yet the network switch gives me the flickering green light, and the cable tester from the two ends says the cable is fine. Internet on the other devices connected to the switch is fine, yet this cable, with other devices too, has issues.
